Birmingham City Council, Children and Families

GBP105,534 – GBP158,301 p/a

This year's Commonwealth Games showed the world what many already know – Birmingham is a vibrant, courageous, and resilient city, proud of its heritage and excited about its future. Our colleagues, our partners and our communities are all realising the benefits of collaboration and service, and our City Council has bold plans to become brilliant.

Significant financial investment alongside talented leadership across the Council and our partners is bringing tangible improvement in our services to children and an unstoppable momentum. Our children and families departmental leadership team is moving at pace, and we have created two new posts that will significantly increase our ability to make a difference to Birmingham's children and young people. This is your opportunity to help us to continue to develop strong relationships of trust and confidence across our City. Relationships which tap into and build upon Birmingham's amazing community spirit. For both roles we are looking for confident, experienced leaders who can inspire, collaborate and deliver with empathy and resilience.

This new role brings together all the teams that work directly with children, young people and families to embed integrated working across our teams and partnerships. Championing an inclusive Birmingham where all children and young people can thrive and reducing demand for statutory services is at the heart of this role. It's an opportunity for someone who has a track record of forging strong partnerships and who brings an understanding of how education, youth services, the voluntary sector and social care contribute to a successful 'whole system'.
